Ethnic Tibetan communities in Nepal's highlands are rapidly shrinking as more parents send their children away for a better education and modern careers, a trend that threatens to create a region of graying ghost towns at the top of the world, according to a study that includes Dartmouth College.
The findings, which have major social and demographic implications for the Himalayan region, appear in the journal Mountain Research and Development. A PDF of the study is available on request.
Taken together, the outmigration of young people, a low birth rate and population aging raises the specter of a massive population decline that has already exceeded 30 percent in the past decade in some communities, says study co-author Dartmouth Associate Professor Sienna Craig. The study predicts a further population decline of 50 percent to 60 percent in the next decade, a trend not likely to be slowed by tourism, niche agriculture or other potential economic opportunities that might prompt the "educational migrants" to return to their native homes.
Population decline in poor, rural or mountainous regions of the world isn't new, but this is perhaps the first documented case where large-scale outmigration is driven not by disease, famine, war, colonial policies, forced assimilation and manual labor markets, but by parental quest to improve their very young children's education. That seemingly temporary choice often leads to permanent relocation when those children grow up and with their parents' support seek professional careers in urban settings that they have become accustomed to in Nepal, India and further abroad.
The outmigration stems from the 1960s when China's Cultural Revolution closed Tibet's monasteries where many rural children were educa

Mystery and Motion: A Photography Exhibit
by Bill Jackson
August 25 through October 26
Peninsula Ballet Theatre
1880 South Grant Street in San Mateo
Artist's Statement:
Some people have described these images as dreams in print.
I can see that. The out of focus look. High grain. The blur of motion. I did not set out to create dreamlinke images, it just turned out that way. My intent was to slow down my camera's shutter speed, go out on the streets, mostly at night, and see what images I could create. No more thinking than that. In fact,
I consciously tried to not think my way to the images but to just "let them happen". To disengage my brain and draw as directly
as I could from my own inner artistic core. Unfiltered. Conditioning and filtering is something we all do a lot of,
instead of just letting it flow. This is a good approach with
many things in life, but it gets in the way of creating our
own art.
As it often is with dreams, each of the images in this exhibit creates an opportunity for you to create a story, your own interpretation, of what is going on in that image. Which, for me,
is one of the great ways of enjoying art: to look at a piece of
art, and have it raise more questions (interpretations), than it answers. If you would like to share your interpretation of any
of these images with me, I would love to hear it.

Team BAD at Niagara Falls
A post on Twitter where Team BAD reveals that they are spending the day together at Niagara Falls. Sasha Banks, Naomi and Tamina Snuka are in Buffalo tonight for Monday Night Raw, so they decided to take in the sights and do a little team bonding before heading to work.
September 28, 2015
Cameron in Team BAD
When WWE brought up Sasha Banks, they needed a couple of girls to join her in a stable for the divas story line that they were working. They chose Naomi and Tamina Snuka since the two of them had already started working together as a tandem on television. If Cameron had her ways, she would be the one in the group instead of Tamina. She revealed that recently during an interview with Maria Menounos.

Paige not at Raw
Those that watched Monday Night Raw this week surely noticed that Paige was not on the episode to continue her feud with the Bella Twins, who worked a tag team match against Naomi and Tamina Snuka. The reason for that is because the Pale Princess was down in Florida, taping segments for Tough Enough. WWE is placing a priority on that.
June 23, 2015
Bellas vs Naomi and Tamina
In a match that failed to generate much of a reaction from the audience, Naomi and Tamina Snuka managed to get the win during a tag team match against the Bella Twins. The move was a bit predictable because the Divas Championship was not on the line. WWE is setting up an eventual title match, so the audience got a sense that this was simply a transitional match. That is why the girls were unable to get to connect with the audience.

Brie Bella possibly injured
During a live event over the weekend, the Bella Twins worked a tag team match against Naomi and Tamina Snuka. Towards the end of the match, Brie Bella appeared to have injured her shoulder, as the referee did the X symbol that normally signifies the medical team backstage that someone needs help. Some, however, are under the belief is that it is solely a story line, as Paige made the save on Nikki Bella as she was being double teamed.

WWE not pushing Cameron
Since her relationship with management is not exactly at its peak right now, Cameron is not routinely utilized on television. The front office will use her once or twice a month at those types of shows. However, WWE still relies heavily on her during the live events, where management likes to please the audience by using multiple divas in a match. During the latest tour of Europe, she teamed with Tamina Snuka and Rosa Mendes.
May 3, 2015
Tamina back with WWE
When WWE started the first part of their tour of Europe, Tamina Snuka was nowhere to be found. That led to speculations that she was not quite ready to make a return from injury just yet. Tamina appears to be just fine, as she showed up for the second half of the tour. She has been working live events and should be back on television shortly afterwards. No word yet on why she was absent during the beginning half of the tour.
April 16, 2015
Tamina Snuka backstage
Earlier in the day, Tamina Snuka was spotted in Austin, the site of Monday Night Raw. She is scheduled to be backstage, which means that her return to television might take place tonight. For those that are not aware, she has been sidelined for much of the past year because of a torn ACL injury. No word yet on how WWE is planning to utilize her, but there is a chance she might be held out because Nikki Bella is working with Naomi at the moment.
April 6, 2015
Tamina Snuke returning
After working diligently over the last year to recover from a torn ACL, Tamina Snuka is ready to go back on the road for WWE. No word on the exact date of her return, but she is booked for the upcoming tour of Europe, which begins on April 8. Since she is being brought along, there is a very good chance that her comeback to television takes place on the episode of Monday Night Raw that is being filmed on April 13 in London.

Father Of Teen Killed Says Tough Love Wasn't Enough
Photos Gives Glimpse Into Case Of Canadian Consul's SonFollow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- Crime scene photos have been released in the investigation of a shooting that left one son of the Canadian consul General in Miami dead and the other facing murder charges. Blood, money, drugs, and weapons all appear in crime scene photos released by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office on Friday. Marc Wabafiyebazu, 15, is charged with felony murder in the shooting that killed his 18-year old brother Jean Wabafiyebazu as well as Joshua Wright and left two others injured. Prosecutors said the shootings happened as the Wabafiyebazu brothers were attempting to rob drug dealers. The evidence photos paint a graphic picture of the bloody scene inside the Miami apartment. Some photos show blood soaked clothing. Others show a blood-covered floor. Evidence markers are seen lining the floor and there are bullet holes in the walls. Photos also show what appear to be bags of marijuana as well as multiple guns and shell casings. Other pictures show cash and some of that cash appears to be stained with blood. Another photo shows the car with consulate plates. In court earlier this week, a judge discussed the use of that car while denying bond for Marc Wabafiyebazu despite his mother's promise that her son would follow all pretrial release rules. "What impressed me the most, or did not impress me, is she was irresponsible enough to allow an 18-year old teenager to drive a consul's car with consulate plates," said Judge Teresa Pooler on Wednesday. The judge determined Wabafiyebazu is a flight risk and will remain behind bars until his trial. In the evidence photos taken after the shooting, you can see Wabafiyebazu being photographed by police. In one picture he holds out his hands. Wabafiyabazu is being charged as an adult. He has pleaded 'not guilty.'
MIAMI (CBSMiami) — The father of a teen killed in an officer-involved shooting is says tough love wasn't enough to keep his 17-year old out of trouble or save his life.
Police shot and killed 17-year old Jason Carulla after they said he repeatedly rammed an officer's car with the stolen SUV he was driving.
"He was very well loved. We all tried to give him tough love," said Carulla's father, Janik Carulla.
Miami-Dade Police say Carulla was believed to be part of a group committing car theft/break-ins which near the Coral Gables border. Miami-Dade Police and Coral Gables Police were working together to investigate the crimes.
Officers got a tip Carulla was allegedly going to pick up a stolen car at the parking lot of Flea Market USA on Thursday night.
When officers found Carulla, they say he was in a stolen vehicle. Sources said an officer tried to block him from driving away which is when Carulla allegedly rammed the officer's car repeatedly.
"He then put the car in drive, aggressively hit the accelerator, striking the Sergeant's vehicle as to move him out of the way but once the vehicle didn't move he continued to ram the vehicle," said Det. Alvaro Zabaleta of the Miami-Dade Police Department. "He's utilizing the vehicle at that point as a weapon."
That's when police say two Coral Gables detectives fired at the SUV, killing Carulla.
"I heard like a pop, pop, pop, pop," said witness Jose Gonez who was waiting at the Metrorail station across the street from the flea market in Northwest Miami-Dade when he heard at least one police officer opening fire on an SUV in the parking lot.
WATCH: Gaby Fleischman's Report
Carulla was the grandson of well-known Cuban artist Ramon Carulla.. His family says he'd had trouble with the law many times before. His father says Jason was a runaway who had been in and out of the system.
"He'd been given a ridiculous amount of opportunities," said Janik Carulla. "He needed to face his problems and he wouldn't face it so I asked a judge to make him face it. They wouldn't. They just kept releasing him and releasing him and releasing him."
If he had stayed locked up, Jason's father said maybe his son could have stayed out of trouble. Although Jason left home last fall his dad said he saw him just last week.
"We said some really nice things to each other and he sort of wanted me to go. I could sense that he wanted me to leave so I hugged him kissed him and he left," said Janik Carulla."Sometimes you just gotta let someone go and say this is what you want you've got to let life teach you. It's a big lesson he got.
According to the city of Sweetwater, Jason Carulla's stepfather is a Sweetwater police officer
Miami-Dade police department is investigating the shooting. Coral Gables Police have not released the names of the officers who fired their guns, but have said one was with the department for 12 years and the other for eight years.

"I am so in LOVE with our cards! The ease of working with your team made this project so much more exciting. You all were able to customize my project as I requested without any problems!! The printing looks beautiful and full of color! The shipping was fast and came before I expected. I can't wait to send them out! I will definitely be looking at your team to create my wedding invitations!! Keep up the great work!"
"I really enjoyed this card because I could personalize so much of it. The one negative was the time it took to upload pictures to the website to try out different looks. Besides for that, I love how my save the date turned out. The postcard is smaller than an average postcard, but it's not that big of a difference."
"These are so fun, we are really happy with them! We used a color photo on top and a B&W photo on the bottom. Added our wedding website to the text on the left, because a lot of guests will need to travel. It turned out great, we are so excited to send them to our guests. Leave plenty of time for the digital proofing process--we made some changes and are glad we did. WPD was prompt, but it did take some time."

Today marks the unofficial end of the school year around here with the last exam being written this morning. It has now been several years since we have adopted exam writing via computer and it is a now the standard. With that standard there are a few changes from the traditional scribbled examinations. Firstly, faculty members far prefer marking word processed exams as they no longer have to obtain special qualifications in hieroglyphics in order to mark exams. That alone is enough of a plus in the eyes of most and it is not really necessary to extoll the virtues . . . [more]

Hillbilly Girl -- You have a very smart grandson. This one was a tough test. I was on vacation last week so only now getting to this week's offerings. Lots of back-and-forth needed on this one, but I guess that is how it's supposed to be.
Agree with others who found this puzzle a good one. Working back and forth between clues and filled in words definitely helped. I did have to resort to Google for one clue, not being a fan of du-wop. Just kept working, and actually was startled when I suddenly got the cheers and applause (nice!).
Again, thanks to Mike Shenk and the constructor for hitting the sweet spot in difficulty. I was truly challenged, only knowing five and a half answers the first pass through, but I was able to complete it without using a Search engine. Definitely not the fella I grew up watching after school on TV, but probably more fun.
Boy, I had a tough time with this one on first pass, but the capital city finally broke it for me, and it's interesting that a couple of the clues and answers related to the puzzle's theme.
Did this fine Mike Shenk acrostic on the front porch of the mountain cabin, looking out on the tall Ponderosa Pines. I thought T. and U. were gimmies for long-time word puzzlers, and those letters were helpful in solving the interesting quote.

We made it! I had Mandy drive the last section of the journey because there were mountain roads and I'm not good with mountains. I tend to freak out on any curves. If you saw a funny looking guy in Eastern Tennessee with his eyes closed and white-knuckling the dashboard, that was likely me. Thankfully I'm a progressive type of man and will let my woman sit in the front seat and even drive from time to time.

Oregon LNG is a liquefied natural gas project that would bring in more than $90 million in new annual tax revenues to Clatsop County, while creating thousands of direct and indirect construction and operating jobs. Oregon LNG is currently working through federal, state, and local permitting processes with the expectation of construction beginning Q4 of 2016 and full operation by 2020.
The $6 billion project will include an LNG export terminal located in Warrenton, Oregon, at the mouth of the Columbia River, and a natural gas connector pipeline to bring largely Canadian natural gas from an existing pipeline in Washington State to the terminal site. Terminal and pipeline are both designed to the highest environmental and safety standards. The project will produce up to 9 million metric tones of LNG annually using the cleanest and most energy efficient, all-electric production process.
New technologies have unlocked abundant supplies of natural gas across North America. These reliable, secure new supplies of this cleaner burning fuel can power new manufacturing and industrial facilities along pipeline routes, creating new jobs. The surplus can be sold to other countries, particularly in Asia, that want it in part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their current power generation facilities. Exporting a small portion of North American natural gas creates many more jobs and further boosts our economy.
What's required is a terminal to liquefy the natural gas and load it on ships, along with a connecting pipeline convenient to both the North American supplies and Asian markets. Clatsop County, Oregon is a perfect location for this liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal.
Here are some of the ways the Oregon LNG project would benefit nearby communities:

101 Medical Weight Loss, the leaders in medical weight loss in the San Fernando Valley, make it easy to bypass McDonald's with tips to satisfy any craving by enjoying the flavor and crunch of fried foods without all the fat and calories.
"If the thought of never eating another chicken finger or french fries makes you want to throw in the towel on your medical weight loss plan, I have some good news: You don't have to," says Dr. Michael Kaplan of 101 Medical Weight Loss.
"It may be hard to walk away from the smell of fresh french fries passing by McDonald's, but you can satisfy your fried food craving the healthy way by following my simple tips," says Kaplan.
Baked 'fried' chicken: To make a skinny version of classic chicken fingers, beat an egg in one bowl and combine a mixture of whole-wheat bread crumbs and your favorite spices—paprika, garlic powder, pepper, etc.—in another bowl. Dip thin-sliced chicken cutlets in the egg mixture, then immediately in the dry mixture. Put on a baking tray and bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. You'll have a crispy chicken tender fresh out of the oven.
Lightened up fries or sweet potato fries: When cooked right, potatoes have a place in every weight loss plan. The skin in particular is an antioxidant gold mine. It contains heart-healthy vitamin B, vitamin C, potassium, and iron, among other nutrients. One potato (medium) contains up to 4 grams of fiber, 2 milligrams of iron, and 926 grams of potassium. To imitate a crispy French fry, slice potato wedges thin, top with olive oil and salt, and bake at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
Make a skinny stir fry: Ordering a stir fry at a restaurant isn't the best choice, but you can make your own and have a flavorful meal ready in a matter of minutes. Toss your favorite veggies with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and a little bit of hot sauce in a non-stick f

Age-Related Macular Degeneration - Surgery
Wet AMD
Laser surgery doesn't cure wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), but it can sometimes slow down or prevent further loss of central vision. Early surgery is vital to slowing down vision loss, which can be rapid.
But laser surgery is an option for less than one-fourth of people who have wet AMD.4 It is often hard to know in advance whether the surgery will do more harm than good.
Recommended Related to Macular Degeneration
Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatment
There is no cure, but age-related macular degeneration treatments may prevent severe vision loss or slow the progression of the disease considerably. Several treatment options are available, including: Anti-angiogenic drugs. These medications -- injected into the eye -- block the development of new blood vessels and leakage from the abnormal vessels within the eye that cause wet macular degeneration. This treatment has been a major change in the treatment of this condition and many patients...
Read the Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatment article > >
By the time many people are diagnosed with wet AMD, it is often too late for surgery to provide much benefit. Even with treatment, many people will still go on to lose more of their central vision.
Dry AMD
Currently, surgery is not used to treat dry AMD. Laser surgery to remove deposits called drusen may slow vision loss in people with dry AMD, but experts think that it may increase the chance of developing wet AMD. Researchers are currently doing studies to see if this is an effective treatment.5

Gulf Marketing Review magazine offers some insights that marketers might find handy to use in the New Year, Part I.
January 4, 2010 10:35 by Precious de Leon
As for mobile marketing, 46 percent of all mobile phones around the world are expected to be smartphones by next year, which means mobile marketing will start to feature prominently.
But while micro-blogging and social networking are becoming an important aspect of marketing, traditional media should still remain in the mix. In other words, the growth of online does not signal the death of TV or print, but rather the merger of all media.
A Maktoob study, for example, shows that 57 percent of viewers in the region watch TV at the same time they're on the computer. In addition, 85 percent watch TV online. They are still watching; they are just not as attentive as they used to be.
When it comes to media measurement, Nielsen ABG along with other research agencies is investing in an integrated system that measures exposure on different screens simultaneously – TV, PC, mobile, etc. These screens even include game consoles, with 2 million people signing into Facebook through their Xbox Live.
Within each media platform, further mergers are predicted, illustrated by smaller companies acquired by bigger regional networks and some regional networks becoming part of international ones.
The regional poster child of such mergers so far was last year's announcement concerning Orbit and Showtime. More recent is the report that News Corp is set to buy a 10 percent stake in Rotana, potentially giving Rotana enough added muscle to knock staunch competitor MBC off its top spot.
This news follows announcement of Rotana Media Group and Fox International's $26.7 million partnership with Walt Disney Co, bringing exclusive programming to the free-to-air channel.

Taylor Swift's Family Easter Egg Hunt Looks A Lot Like Your Family's [Video]
Taylor Swift is NOT playing around when it comes to Easter Egg Hunts!
Taylor Swift is NOT playing around when it comes to Easter Egg Hunts!
We all love to indulge in the deliciousness that is chocolate when Easter comes around. I'm sure our dogs would love to join us. However, that is not a great idea. I repeat NOT a great idea.
We made to the big Easter weekend in Acadiana and there is so much to do! Rhythms on the River continues and eggs need to hunted.
Have you ever wondered what the story behind some of these Easter traditions really is?
It's commonly thought, at least around here, that Cajuns are the only ones who pock eggs. The game, however, has been around for many centuries.
This Saturday, it looks like we're going to get a big ole Easter egg in the sky as the moon turns pink during the "Pink Moon Of April".
Christians believe Jesus was crucified on Good Friday and resurrected on Easter Sunday.
Easter weekend in upon us! Family, friends, crawfish boils and Easter eggs hunts will be happening all over Acadiana.
If the idea of a human-sized rodent sneaking into your house in the middle of the night carrying a basket of eggs doesn't freak you out, we're pretty sure these photos of creepy Easter bunnies will.
It's Easter morning, the rabbit has already left the baskets full at your house and you still need some way to make sure everyone is awake for Easter church. I give you the alarm clock that fits the holiday, the exploding Easter egg!

The present invention relates to the use of a certain class of volatile polyorganohalogen compounds, in which the halogen atom is a fluorine, in antisun or make-up or sun-screen cosmetic compositions in order to avoid so-called transfer phenomena.
In cosmetic compositions of this type, the term transfer means the displacement of a fraction of the composition by contact with another support, whether of the same nature or of different nature. Thus, when they are intended for make-up, such as eyeshadows, eyeliners or mascaras, they can be transferred onto the hands by rubbing or by contact of the hands with the eyes. When these compositions are lipsticks, they can be transferred onto the teeth, the hands or onto the cheeks of another person.
Irrespective of the type of composition they are, they can also, by transfer, stain napkins and leave imprints on glasses, cups and other containers.
In addition, when the compositions are foundations, the foundation can also transfer onto shirt collars and thus stain them.
In addition to this transfer problem, make-up compositions can also exhibit migration phenomena, i.e. the compositions have a tendency to travel inside the wrinkles and/or fine lines on the skin, in particular in the case of foundations, in the fine lines around the lips in the case of lipsticks, and in the folds of the eyelids in the case of eyeshadows.
These transfer and migration phenomena are particularly detrimental since they give rise to an aesthetically unappealing effect and to a certain number of drawbacks as mentioned above.
In order to overcome this, it has already been proposed, in particular in U.S. Pat. No. 5,505,937, to use volatile oils, in particular cyclic silicones, as well as hydrocarbon-based products such as C8-C20-iso-paraffins combined with a silicone resin and with waxes.
Although this type of make-up composition makes it possible to avoid the transfer phenomena, there is nevertheless formation of a dry film on the skin, this film consisting of waxes and pigments with a matt appearance, which is associated with a surface state of the heterogeneous film.
It has also been proposed to make transfer-resistant make-up products, by using aqueous dispersions of hydrophobic polymers or latices, which, after drying on the skin, give a dry film which can have a certain level of sheen.
Nevertheless, the drawback of these aqueous dispersions of hydrophobic polymers is associated with a level of discomfort and a difficulty in applying them to the skin, in particular to the lips in the case of lipsticks.
After many studies on various types of compounds, it has been observed, surprisingly and unexpectedly, that by using a certain class of volatile polyorganohalogen solvents in which the halogen atom is fluorine, it is possible to overcome, in a particularly satisfactory and effective manner, the drawbacks arising due to the transfer and migration problems.
Another particularly appreciable advantage is to be able to obtain the compositions in total safety, since these solvents, referred to hereinbelow as volatile polyfluorinated solvents, have no flash point, which allows the compositions to be prepared at high temperature, and thus has a certain advantage when substances with a melting point above room temperature are used.
Lastly, the use of volatile polyfluorinated solvents makes it easier to incorporate high concentrations of non-volatile fluorinated derivatives into the compositions, these derivatives being entirely miscible with the volatile polyfluorinated solvents. A highly fluorinated, shiny or satin residual film which is water-resistant and fat-resistant can thus be obtained.
The subject of the present invention is thus the use, in a make-up or sun-screen cosmetic composition containing particles of pigment and/or of filler, of at least one volatile polyorganohalogen solvent, as anti-transfer agent, the halogen atom being fluorine and the said solvent having a vapour pressure of greater than 20 mba (2000 Pa) at 25° C. and preferably greater than 40 mba (4000 Pa).
Among the volatile polyfluorinated solvents which can be used according to the invention and which satisfy the vapour pressure criterion mentioned above, mention may be made in particular of:

Needles to say, the anhydrous compositions as defined above can also contain one or more conventional cosmetic or dermatological additives or adjuvants.
These anhydrous compositions can be in various forms such as, for example, in the form of an oily gel, a solid produce such as a compacted or cast powder, or alternatively a stick such as, for example, a lipstick.
When the compositions are in the form of an oily gel, they generally contain, besides the constituents defined above, an oily gelling agent.
Among the oily gelling agents, mention may be made in particular of metal esters such as polyoxyaluminium stearate and aluminium or magnesium hydroxystearate, fatty acid esters of glycol, triglycerides, fatty alcohol mixtures, cholesterol derivatives and in particular hydroxycholesterol, and clay minerals which swell in the presence of oil, and in particular those belonging to the montmorillonite group.
The oily gelling agents can be present in a very variable proportion depending on the desired texture of the compositions. However, in most cases, they are present in a proportion of between about 0.1 and about 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
These anhydrous compositions can be, in particular, foundations, mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, eyeshadows or blushers.
According to a second embodiment of the compositions according to the invention, they are dispersions, in the form of a stable water-in-oil (W/O) or oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion, these dispersions consisting essentially of (i) a fatty phase in a proportion of between about 0.1 and about 50% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, it being possible for the said fatty phase to contain at least one fatty substance as defined above in a proportion of between about 0.1 and about 95% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, (ii) an aqueous phase in a proportion of between about 4 and about 97% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and (iii) at least one emulsifier in a proportion of between about 1 and about 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition in emulsion form.
As emulsifier or surfactant which can be used in the compositions in the form of a W/O or O/W emulsion, mention may be made in particular of silicone surfactants and in particular those belonging to the alkyl- or alkoxydimethicone copolyol family. Among the alkyl- or alkoxydimethicone copolyols, mention may be made in particular of the compounds corresponding to the following general formula:
in which:
R is a hydrogen atom, a C1-C16 alkyl or an alkoxy or acyl,
R′ is a C8-C22 alkyl or alkoxy radical,
u=0 to 200,
v=1 to 40,
w=1 to 100,
the molecular weight of the radical —O—(C2H4O)x—(C3H6O)y—R being from 250 to 2000, x and y being chosen such that the weight ratio of the oxyethylene/oxypropylene groups is between 100:0 and 20:80.
Among the commercial products which can contain all or some of the alkyldimethicone copolyols, mention may be made in particular of those sold under the names Abil WE09®, Abil EM90® or Q2 3225C® by the company Dow Corning and 218 1138® by the company General Electric.
The surfactants can also be chosen from anionic and nonionic surfactants. In this respect, reference may be made to the document Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Kirk-Othmer, volume 22, pages 333-342, 3rd edition, 1979, Wiley, for the definition of the properties and functions (emulsifying) of the surfactants, in particular pages 347-377 of that reference, for the anionic and nonionic surfactants.
The surfactants of these two groups which are preferably used in the compositions according to the invention are:
among the nonionic surfactants: fatty acids, fatty alcohols, polyethoxylated or polyglycerolated fatty alcohols, such as polyethoxylated stearyl or cetylstearyl alcohol, fatty acid esters of sucrose, glucose alkyl esters, in particular polyoxyethylenated fatty esters of (C1-C6) alkylglucose, and
among the anionic surfactants: amine stearates.
These emulsions an preferably be in the form of creams and can be used as make-up or sun-screen products. In the latter case, they contain UVA and/or UVB sunscreens and white pigments, in a variable proportion depending on the desired degree of protection.
The compositions as described above, whether of the anhydrous type or in the form of a dispersion, have excellent cosmetic properties such as, in particular, an excellent ease of application, great softness and lead to the production of a uniform make-up.
The compositions as have just been described above can also contain one or more conventional cosmetic adjuvants such as vitamins, hormones, antioxidants, preserving agents, fragrances, thickeners, moisturizers, wetting agents, anionic, nonionic or amphoteric polymers, or cosmetic or dermatological active agents.
The subject of the present invention is also the process for preparing make-up or sun-screen cosmetic composition in order to limit or suppress the so-called transfer phenomena, this process consisting in introducing into the said composition an effective amount of at least one volatile polyfluorinated solvent as defined above, which has a vapour pressure of greater than 20 mba (2000 Pa) at 25° C.
The invention will now be illustrated by the various examples which follow, in which the amounts are expressed by weight.
- Methoxynonafluorobutane (HFE-7100)
10 g
- Perfluorodecalin
35 g
- Wax
40 g
- Polyperfluoroisopropyl ether
5 g
(Fluortress LM 36 ®)
- Pigments
10 g
After mixing the fatty substances together under hot conditions, at a temperature below the evaporation point of the volatile fluorinated oil, the volatile oil and the pigments are introduced with stirring and the molten mixture is then poured into lipstick moulds.
After cooling and demoulding, lipsticks which have a good texture, which are easy to apply and which have a very short drying time are obtained. It is moreover observed that after drying, the lipstick does not give rise to any transfer phenomenon according to the conventional tests used for this type of determination.
In this example, the methoxynonafluorobutane can advantageously be replaced with an equivalent amount of tetradecafluorohexane or perfluorodimethylcyclohexane.
- Perfluoromethylcyclopentane
(Flutec PC1 ®)
- Alkyldimethicone copolyol
(Abil WE 09 ®)
- Cyclomethicone
- Pigments
- Water
This foundation is obtained in the form of a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion by mixing together the fatty phase and the aqueous phase with stirring. A foundation of good consistency which is easy to apply is thus obtained. It is particularly resistant to rubbing.
In this example, the perfluoromethylcyclopentane can advantageously be replaced with an equivalent amount of ethoxynonafluorobutane or 4-trifluoromethyloctafluoromorpholine.
